As an adult, in a bar situation and roughly between men, people say 'Tà mo chàc agam' - I have to take a shit.
"Tà mo mhùin agam" - I have to take a piss.
Does anyone know 'nicer' versions for kids, like pee pee and poo poo in English.

Go hiondúil is leaganacha pearsanta teaghlaigh a bhíonn i gceist. Ní fheicim cúis ceachtar focal a sheachaint, ámh.
(Is féidir "salach" a rá i gcóir "cac") |

...nach bhfuil fonn orm a rà 'cac' os comhair pàiste...
Rud spéisiúil atá ann.
Labhraíonn na Fhionlannacha 'kakka' agus 'pissa' os comhair páiste, agus tagann 'kakka' ón bunúdar le 'cac'... ó Laidin... agus creidim go dtagann 'pissa' ó 'piss', nó 'kiss' i Sualainnis. Is focail neodracha i bhFionlainnis iad.
Tine, siúil liom!

And it really sucks to find out that you have posted something totally unfinished and unchecked which you can't edit anymore.
Chuir mé suas scéal neamhcríochnaithe is neamhdeimhnithe. Scairdim luaith te orm.

Why not settle for Tá leithras uaim without a graphic desciption of why you're going there? Too much information, nach bhfuil? |

Tá leithreas uaim sounds like "I need a toilet" to me (like, you need to buy a new toilet set or something, as if yours were broken)...

"I need the toilet" is the English phrase, obviously, although you might feel that "tá an leithreas uaim" expresses a burning desire to purchase a particular piece of bathroom furniture. |

I understand the English sentence, but translating it word for word into Irish may not work... most of the time, the idioms are different between Irish and English...

Is cosúil a chairde nach amháin go múinfidh mún seift, ach go múinfidh sé focail leis. |

Bhí mo theachtaireacht dírithe ar TMI, a Lughaidh. N'fheadar cad é an nath cuí ach shíl mé go raibh focal in easnamh ag TMI, má bhí aistriúchán díreach uaidh (focal tabhachtach chun míthuiscint a sheacaint). Tuigim go maith gur annamh a fheileann an modh díreach.

My point wasn't how to say I need the toilet or any other way you'd like to express the term. My point is that there is no need to tell the world what you intend to do there. Everyone can figure it out |

Gabh mo leithscéal, a chairde, tá fonn leithris orm. Cá bhfuil teach an asail?
Focal atá againne ar Uimhir a Dó ná "búdóg". Féach "búdán" ag Dinneen. Is iomaí focal Gaeilge nach bhfuil sna foclóirí fós.
Ní minic a d'abróimis é ach le greann. Maidir le hUimhir a hAon is mór an spraoi múntóirí a bheith ag múnadh ar scoil.
Os ag caint ar an scoil mé, bhíodh fadhb graifítí sa scoil s'againne fadó agus chun stop a chur leis dá mbeifeá ag iarraidh an seomra ranga a fhágáil chaithfeá "An bhfuil cead agam dul amach a rá" d'uimhir a haon agus "An bhfuil cead agam dul amach leis an eochair" don cheann eile.
Agus ós ag caint ar ghraifítí mé is dócha nár mhiste an rann seo a lua:
Chuaigh an tSiúirín de Bhál
isteach i seomra go mall
ag machnamh ar mhór-ghlóire Dé
Ach do chas sí go mear
nuair a thug sí faoi ndear'
go mba seomra na bhfear ab ea é. |
